Line 29:
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: Pretty much every line out of Viviane's mouth. The entire reason for Arthur's existence.
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: Morgaine's for Viviane {{spoiler|when she finds out she orchestrated the anonymous sexual tryst between Morgaine and her brother.}}
* [[Brother -Sister Incest]]: {{spoiler|Morgaine}} conceives a child by Arthur, a boy named Gwydion ("bright one"). {{spoiler|This is subverted somewhat in that Morgaine and Arthur did not know they were having sex with each other at the time. Morgaine hadn't seen her half-brother since he was 3, both were masked, and both were playing parts in a Sacred Marriage rite.}}
* [[The Chosen One]]: Guess who. No, really! Guess!
* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: Just about everybody. Especially Morgaine, since she's the main protagonist of the story:
Line 66:
* [[Merlin and Nimue]]: Done with unbelievable tragedy.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: You'd think [[Anjelica Huston]] would play the evil sister and Joan Allen would play the good one, instead of vice versa!
* [[Please, I Will Do Anything!]]: Gwenhwyfar {{spoiler|to Morgaine when she asks her to create a fertility charm to make her conceive, despite Gwen's extreme aversion to anything Pagan or magical.}}
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]: Gwenhwyfar basically pulls this on Arthur during a fight.
* [[Rescue Sex]]: Gwenhwyfar and Lancelet, after her rescue.
Line 73:
* [[Right Hand Hottie]]: Lancelot to Arthur.
* [[Sex As a Rite of Passage]]: The Sacred Marriage ritual, watch out your partner might be your sibling.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Gwenhwyfar, Lancelet, Morgaine, Morgause, Igraine.
* [[Three Way Sex]]: {{spoiler|Arthur, Gwenhwyfar, and Lancelot.}}
* [[Twice -Told Tale]]: While it is not strictly necessary to be familiar with Arthurian legend to enjoy the book, it makes a lot more sense if you know the basics of the legends.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Morgaine is usually the villain of Arthurian stories.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Raven, a young seeress, has taken a vow of silence and dedicated her voice to the Goddess.
